Request: Hi. I noticed that File:Bosna.jpg is deleted on Commons. I found original, so, can someone create free equivalent of this map, please? We don't need COAs and galleons, only boundaries, temporary occupied territories (pink dots) and rivers. I can add important sites later, I hope.-- Bojan 05:04, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Final version svg

Article(s): Urdu

Request: Could we make the Urdu script scale properly? SVG would be great, of course... but, a PNG where the Urdu script can scale to the proper size would be great. gren グレン 00:37, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Goldsztajn. Hi, a little complicated this request, but I've had a try and came up with the "be" character (although the Devanagari part is not quite correct yet). Nevertheless it's doable for me, I'll just be a little slow. Without the Devanagari phonetics it would be easier... :) Regards --Goldsztajn (talk) 10:08, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks very good to me... and I see nothing wrong with the Devanagari (the loop closes in the PNG but not the SVG... but, that seems a matter of font and not of correctness). Thank you for working on this. I think it will be useful to have an SVG... unless you think it's better just to put this on the page in a table not using an image. But, Images are nice because you can print them out more easily. gren グレン 10:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was ok, but not perfect as the accent on the Devanagari character was not displaying in the proper place, but with this second test file I seem to have solved that and now have all the Urdu/Hindi characters and accents displaying properly...just need to get English correct! --Goldsztajn (talk) 00:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First line completed, with diacritics and correct English.--Goldsztajn (talk) 09:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Second line completed, but a few problems with Hindi phonetics line...slowly, but surely... --Goldsztajn (talk) 04:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's looking good. Obviously a lot crisper than it was. The thing and I may be able to figure this out by changing the font is to make it a more Nastaʿlīq looking script where it goes from upper right to lower left rather than the more typically Arabic naksh. But that's a matter of style. But, the Devanagari was definitely the most difficult part for me so thank you very much for that part. gren グレン 15:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to revive this to see if someone can finish the SVG that has been started? gren グレン 19:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: minor wikifications to each... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 09:03, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:I am not sure, we are allowed to trim the German text of the middle image. That image was provided by the German Federal Archive and my understanding is that have to use the picture as is. Please correct me if I am wrong. SPLETTE :] ^{How's my driving?} 17:59, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They licensed it under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0, so there is no reason why we couldn't create another version that is edited with that text removed, so long as you attribute it back to the original. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 18:02, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First, the tag says For documentary purposes the German Federal Archive often retained the original image captions, which may be erroneous, biased, obsolete or politically extreme. Factual corrections and alternative descriptions are encouraged separately from the original description. That says to me they encourage us to fix it. Second, they provided the image to Wikipedia without condition, or the tags would read differently. Third, the information is just archival numbers, like an ISBN or a bar code, lets researchers know where they can find the image. Since the exact same info is reproduced both in the description page of the image, as well as the image name itself, I say run with it. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 18:07, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay okay okay. I cropped it. SPLETTE :] ^{How's my driving?} 18:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fast and friendly, great, thanks! Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 18:13, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries :-) SPLETTE :] ^{How's my driving?} 18:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably upload any modification separately as another image and just link it back as a derivative of the original, and not remove that tag from the original upload, imho. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 22:41, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Done tag, since none of the modifications was done, the uploaded new versions appear identical. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 22:47, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what you are talking about. Firstly, when just cropping an image or doing minor changes likes the ones done here, it is not encouraged to upload them under another name. Secondly, please have a closer look. All the modifications were done. The new (mostly cropped) versions of the images that I uploaded are not identical with the initial ones. Finally, I haven't removed any tags as far as I am aware of. SPLETTE :] ^{How's my driving?} 01:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake on them not being done, apparently my browser didn't want to refresh the new images and I was seeing cached ones, what I meant was you cropped the original archive image for File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-U1002-502, Japanisch-Chinesischer Krieg.jpg, you're modifying it by removing the tags on the bottom that the archive put there. It would be more appropriate to make a second image and link the two, then just replace the original with the one missing the archive's tags. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 02:00, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I see what you mean. Might be the better practise, not sure. I mean, is this creative common picture to be treated different than any other creative common picture? Because in the history you can always find the original version, right? Anyway, feel free to revert my edit and upload it under another name.

Request: Can someone upload a better image of a Metro Sign than this (ex. not askew)?

It would also be nice to have a smaller logo/emblem for Paris Metro, comparable to , or (perhaps something like [1] or [2] is such a logo)

Thanks! Sligocki (talk) 18:20, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Well, you can do that for a Wikiproject if you want but the official Paris Metro logo is far simpler. Look at the upper left hand corner of this map or on this ticket and you will see the logo for Metro is M with a circle, Trams are T with a circle, etc... gren グレン 19:34, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I traced that design to a SVG. BTW I just realized how many similiar-looking metro/commuter rail logos there are in the world, e.g.

, and

(Boston vs. Stockholm, Copenhagen vs. Hamburg, Vienna vs. Berlin). hydrox (talk) 09:38, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks hydrox! I agree, the logo of a letter with a geometric shape around it is not very unique, for the Comparison of rapid transit systems article I'm working on it might be nice to have some other more city-specific logos, but it's hard to know what if anything that might be. By the way, how do you make the SVGs? Do you know any software for Linux that could do it? Thanks, Sligocki (talk) 16:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Definetly. InkScape is an excellent open-source software for making SVG vector graphics, and most SVG you see on Wikipedia has been created with it (or Adobe Illustrator, which is proprietary Win/Mac software). It should be available on most distributions with apt-get install inkscape etc. (This one, however, I made only with a with text editor like a HTML file, by following the SVG spec. Writing the code by hand results in a smaller file size, although the difference is usually negligible.) hydrox (talk) 03:14, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to point it out, but the metro sign should be fair use since there isn't freedom of panorama in France, so photos of signs etc. on public display are subject to the same copyright as the sign itself. Time3000 (talk) 11:29, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Uhmm, I read that page and it appears that it is about photos which represent copyrighted artistic works (sculptures, architectual buildings) in public space. But we are arguing here, with the template {{PD-textlogo}}, that because the sign only consists of simple geometric shapes and text, it does not meet the threshold of originality, and is therefore uncopyrightable in the first place (at least under the U.S. jurisdiction). hydrox (talk) 13:17, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate, logo already on commons for a long time: File:Metro-M.svg. Please check commons categories before asking for something that already exists. - Gonioul (talk) 21:57, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that guys. I still wonder if this is the most recognizable symbol of the Paris Metro, does anyone know of a better image to use for it that would distinguish it from other cities' metros? I think that the metro signs are very recognizably Parisian, is there an example of these signs that could be a de facto logo? Cheers, Sligocki (talk) 23:56, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot of different metro signs, see fr:Aménagement des stations du métro de Paris#Les mâts. The (M) is I think the best symbol... - Gonioul (talk) 12:38, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for improvement: Pat Nixon Signature.svg

Resolved

Raster
Inkscape vector
Manual vector

Article(s): Pat Nixon

Request: The vector has some differences from the raster, you can find them at Talk:Pat Nixon. Can somebody please improve the vector image to look more alike the raster? Thank you. Connormah (talk) 18:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC) Here are the differences, listed at the talk page:[reply]

:From a far glance, yeah, perhaps the two look similar, but when one examines the vector image closer, significant errors made while attempting to trace the image can easily be found. The curve is not correct on the P; the a goes too far down; the N looks like an M, as the line goes down in the vector image for the i, while it goes up in the original (third curve in); the curve isn't as high as the original on the x; the o isn't a complete circle. The fact that the vector image, when examined looks different from the raster original image is what bothers me. If you can create an exact copy of the first image in SVG format, I will wholeheartedly support adding it in. But the vector image above has too many flaws.
— Happyme22

--Connormah (talk) 21:03, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): The low resolution (2K) raster barely contains enough information to reconstruct the signature but is this an improvement? The stroke is a bit thick but otherwise I think it follows the original reasonably well. This is an automatic trace in Inkscape with threshhold 0.8 and other parameters left as defaults. It's also much smaller, though larger than the jpg. Certes (talk) 01:19, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is an improvement. It is small, but I suppose that is because the original was so small. Happyme22 (talk) 06:39, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can we reach a consensus on which image to use? See also the discussion at User talk:Happyme22#Pat Nixon Signature. Certes (talk) 21:33, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Centre version above traced in Inkscape with threshold=0.77 per consensus. This has appeared in the article immediately, so perhaps we can mark this request as resolved. Certes (talk) 11:37, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion: Request taken by Goldsztajn.. Need some clarifications. On the NORDEL page it says that eastern Denmark is part of NORDEL are you saying to change the Eastern Part? or should the Western part be striped like Iceland. If Cyprus is added, does it need a colour? I've done a basic draft in English.--Goldsztajn (talk) 08:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As Bsay USD said, it's well composed, and the background is nice and blurry, so it doesn't distract. Artificially reducing the noise with a filter is not a good idea here.

I went ahead and made a proper mask over her face and hair due to the initial comments in the FP nomination, it should resolve those concerns now since no detail is lost in those areas due to the denoise filter anymore.

Combined image

Article(s): Kokang and Kokang incident

Request: Could someone put the first of these maps onto the second, to provide a map showing the location of Kokang relative to all of Burma (as opposed to just relative to Shan State, the province where it is located)? This should be fairly simple—shrinking the Kokang map to the right size and putting it on top of the other map, where the red part is right now—I just don't know enough Photoshop to do it right. Removing the internal borders (thin gray lines) on the big Shan map would also be nice; also, if it's easy to remove the Catalan text from the yellow Kokang map and leave it blank, that would be awesome, but if it's too time-consuming don't worry about it. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 05:31, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Is the third image above what you were looking for? This is an SVG, as the two PNGs were hard to combine directly, possibly due to using different map projections. Please ask if you want any text added or colours changed - these are very easy to do. Certes (talk) 23:15, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This looks great. For the purposes of making just a Kokang map, though, the darker-green portion to the left could be totally removed (turned yellow, and have its borders taken off), if that's not too difficult. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 17:18, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a .png screen print of the word document.
New SVG.

Article(s): Vacuum Insulated Evaporator (This article is on my to-do list for clean-up and improvement)

Request: Would it be particuarly easy to convert this into a .svg file? I am rubbish at anything image related and created this picture in the new version of microsoft word, perhaps you can just copy the shapes from the .docx to inkscape? I don't know whether it is possible for me to upload .docx files to wikipedia, so I have uploaded it to my website here: http://home.captain-pot-noodle.com/stuff/VIE.docx. Thanks in advance and sorry for being completely useless ;-) Captain n00dle ^T/_C 09:57, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Yes, it's an ideal case for SVG. (And no, you're not rubbish or useless: that's a perfect specification of requirements.) Sadly I can't get anything apart from text out of the .docx using OpenOffice. Can someone with MS Word do better? Certes (talk) 22:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vacuum_Insulated_Evaporator.svg — needs some tweaking, lost some gradients and subtleties in the conversions, and there's some raster data, too. ¦ Reisio (talk) 23:21, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redrawing it in Inkscape is ideal. I will try doing it. --Jackl 16:08, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks all! Reisio; I don't think that the image needs the text (except for the labels) as I can include this in the article, the text was in the word document because my mum needed me to create this picture for her. Captain n00dle ^T/_C 19:39, 6 September 2009 (UTC) (p.s. I shall get the article done soon, my mum was the main source of information about it to get it started and she has disappeared somewhere for a few days)[reply]

I just tried to convert it to an .odt so that Certes didn't feel left out, but sorry, it wasn't playing ball! Captain n00dle ^T/_C 19:59, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the attempt but I don't think we need a .odt any more. Reisio's .svg has all the information we need and is pretty close to the finished product already. It looks as if we can leave this rest to Jackl. Certes (talk) 21:42, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently working on it. Just a quick question: Do you want the little rectangles below the pressure regulator to be merged into one polygon, or leave them separated? Many thanks. --Jackl 09:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First draft of the new SVG drawn and uploaded on Commons. --Jackl 12:35, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good job! SPLETTE :] ^{How's my driving?} 22:11, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to down-size it a bit. But for now, it's finished. --Jackl 09:12, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow that looks great! Thanks all! (and thanks for putting it on the commons too) I just need to do the article now :-/

I will try to do it this evening. I even saw the equipment outside yesterday, so I shall take a photo of the real thing too.

Please have a cookie (::) as a token of my appreciation ^_^ Captain n00dle ^T/_C 16:34, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, silly question, but what do I do with the old one? It has become a child, and is a different file type so it doesn't appear as an 'old version'. Thanks in advance :-) Captain n00dle ^T/_C 16:39, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added a Vector Version Available template on the png. Also, please add {{Resolved|~~~~}} on top of the page if you are satisfied with the results. Thanks. --Jackl 01:35, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Why would one award a stub-class barnstar? If it's for humour then perhaps the image itself should be a basic and incomplete stub, e.g. ! Certes (talk) 11:09, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reply it would go to editors who go out of there way to improve stub-class articles Big Padres Dude 00:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see - that sounds like a much better idea and my mischievous suggestion is certainly not appropriate for such worthy work. Certes (talk) 20:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we could use the opposite of the second picture above, with the graffiti replaced by a blank outline or rough sketch of part of a barnstar (analogous to a stub article) and the eraser replaced by the graphite end of the pencil (or a paintbrush) to indicate the process of completion.

Particle collision diagram

Resolved

The base image can be found here

Article(s): Top quark

Request: The layout is essentially OK, however there are some mistakes made (particularly concerning particles and antiparticles), and it would be nice to use symbols rather than words. If you keep the balls and arrows on that picture, the following changes would need to be made

Above: Top quark = t, bottom quark = b, W⁺ boson = W⁺, muon = μ⁺, neutrino = ν_μ

Middle: Protons = p, antiprotons = p. Keep the "explosion"-looking thingamajig.

Below: Top quark = t, bottom quark = b, W⁻ boson = W⁻, left quark = c, right quark = b. Ignore the "low-energy muon".

Remove everything else (legend, caption, particle/antiparticle, ...)

Please pay attention to italics, overlines, superscripts, and using real minus signs (−) rather than a hyphen (-)

The arrows from the top quark/antiquark to W^± should be replaced by squiggly lines (such as in here)

I swear I replied to this earlier. Anyway, here goes again. First it's a very good first draft, but yes, there are some more tweaks to be made before it's gold. Namely:

All the b, t, W⁻, ν_μ, should have full circles

All the c, b, t, W⁺, μ⁺ should have empty circles

All the b and b should have the same base color (yellow)

The green empty circle (and its arrow) at the bottom should be removed

And that should be good enough. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 05:46, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Correct now? — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 18:09, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ν
_e for the electron antineutrino and
e⁻
for the electron? The subscript e and the subscript minus sign are hard to read at small sizes. While you're at it, the tee at the top of the vertical axis (for "time") should be italicized (t).___A. di M. 15:22, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, even if the bar over the ν could be a tad lower. BTW, for some reason, even if the image itself (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Beta_Negative_Decay.svg) shows the changes, not only its thumbnails but also its description page (http://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=File:Beta_Negative_Decay.svg) show the only version.
